This paper aims to examine the meaning of gender of various issues in Korean society through word embedding which is a way of expressing distributional semantics, the meaning of language from a large volume of text data. Gender is a form of sociality and refers to the general characteristics that are specified and distinguished by the words male and female. As the technical expression of ‘sociality’ implies, the gender of women and men has changed and the meaning has been related to the characteristics and changes of human groups in society, and it is expressed linguistically. Many sociolinguistic or gender related language studies have investigated the linguistic characteristics of each gender with the utterance of mainly female and male speakers. This is a sociolinguistic variable that explains the difference in the way women and men express their language. On the other hand, the character and meaning of gender can be revealed according to what linguistic expressions are used, when describing woman or man. And the linguistic medium that most reveals various works of human society is newspaper data. Therefore, this article aims to show the change of linguistic aspects which describe and express the events of women and men in news corpus, rather than linguistic variables of women speakers and men speakers.
